"Still lie the sheltering snows, undimmed and white;
And reigns the winter's pregnant silence still;
No sign of spring, save that the catkins fill,
And willow stems grow daily red and bright.
These are days when ancients held a rite
Of expiation for the old year's ill,
And prayer to purify the new year's will."

Aging-Future Trends and Challenges

One of the biggest factors driving future trends in aging is the aging of baby boomers-the cohort of 78 billion people born between 1946 and 1964. According to a research, these trends are being considered by developed countries in order to avoid future challenges.

Diet is important of course. But I think that having work, or anything you have to do, is the most important thing to live long. It's all mental.

@Yellowtail Reference to the link you shared, I don't know how does he manage to live on this simple diet?!

Food is the most important

For breakfast he drank a glass of fruit juice in combination with a tablespoon of olive oil or a glass of milk with a little powdered lentil and a banana. For lunch he ate milk and 2-3 biscuits or if it he was busy, he did not eat anything. Also he tells when he is focused on work he never feels hunger. For dinner he ate fruit, little fish with rice and 90 grams of fat meat two times a week.

@Bubbly Though the article writes 'Food is the most important', I don't think he cares much about what he eats. The only thing he emphasize on diet is not being overweight. In other words, not eating too much is more important than eating healty foods.
And in my opinion, the worst thing for your health, worse than bad diet, lack of exercise, even smoking or alcohol, is stress. And working vigorously is sometimes more stress-free than having much free time. Especially when you take pleasure in your work. It's just my opinion, but he seems the same way.

@Yellowtail there are people who don't care about the type of food they eat. Initially, their body doesn't react but with the passage of time, they face a lot of health issues. But, we can't get rid of our eating habits easily especially when we are living with a big family.

@mheredge maybe my diet is not my best point of strenght. But i try to be accurate and not exaggerate with meat, alcohol and sweets and i'm adding more and more fish and vegetables to my diet.
The truth is that i love good food and even if i try to limit myself, temptation often brings me to the greedy part of the table :blush:

@Bubbly
I agree with you on that point. I have been told that the effect of today's diet emerges in 10 or 20 years. By the way, you reminded me of my parents. My father often told my mother to reduce the amount of meals, but she did not follow. Probaby she wanted to make it enough for her children to be full. Though my father's intention seemed to be not from the health issues but his principal of frugality.
